Skaters reach podium at CNC Regional Championships

Fourteen members of the Williams Lake Skating Club spun their way to Prince George Jan. 19-21 for the CNC Regional Championships.

The second last competitive meet of the season for the club, WLSC coach Joanne Macnair said it was a great competition for her skaters.

“First-time competitors Ella Kruus and Camdyn Cochran in Star 1 and Olivia Holloway in Star 2 earned a silver ribbon first time out,” Macnair said. “We had some great skates and good placements from all our skaters, as well as some personal best scores.”
